2/5 The fossil fuel industry has a long history of spreading misinformation and disinformation while blocking meaningful climate action.

Despite this, lobbyists received almost 60% more passes to COP30 than the 10 most climate-vulnerable nations combined (1,061).
Fossil fuel lobbyists outnumber all Cop30 delegations except Brazil, report says
One in every 25 participants at 2025 UN climate summit is a fossil fuel lobbyist, according to Kick Big Polluters Out

In 2019, we did something transformative: we set up a specialist Violence Reduction Unit to intervene and take a preventative approach.

The impact has been huge ⬇️

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

So excited about the upcoming release of Equator! "We began to imagine a new cultural venture, one that rejects the nihilistic idea that the powerful do what they please, and success is the only measure of moral virtue."
"Equator is founded on our conviction that the storied titles of the Anglophone West cannot be internally reformed, nor redeemed by their periodic U-turns and belated mea culpas. The time has come to create something new."

Today we publish Equator's editorial declaration.

A strike hit Rosneft’s Tuapse Marine Oil Terminal on the Black Sea. The deep-water berth (operational since 2013, ~7 Mt/yr capacity) was damaged. The facility handles large tankers (up to 250 m / 15 m draft) — key for Russian crude exports.

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

The Orchid buzz is amazing (was straight onto the waiting list).. But scary to contemplate the best ways to be a financially sustainable touring musician in 2025 are:

1. Launch a line of hardware synths, attach Matt Berry and Germaine to the promo campaign

2. Dole office

3. Be Taylor Swift

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester
